SITUATION.

SD,ciol TslsOram to tb, ReoiSer.

The third day OF the JOINT assembly oil the
two Houses, for the election-ef Senator
has developed nothing new in the contest
more than that a protracted fight may be
looked for. The vote was the same as yes
terday's, except Flournoy's, which was
east for BranDon. Senator Brown being
sick Camden's vote was thirty-seyen.
The Republicans insist that they will
vote for none but Republicans until
the end, and will give no assistance to any
Democrat, that if that party wants to elect
q Senator it must be by votes from their
own ranks. The anti-Camden men are
equally positive in their statements, that
in no case will they give in to the caucus
nominee, and the caucus Democrats to-
night in convention decided TO remain
firm in their determination, to vote for
Senator Camden until Senator has been
elected or the session expires.
The caucus men claim they represent
the Democratic party of the State, and
have received the concentrations and APP
they have pursued.
The Greenbackers voted for Burdette to-
day, as was expected. The necessity of
meeting daily in joint assembly is inter
fering greatly with the work before the
two houses.
CRITICISM OF KINSEY.
The Marion county delegation, who have
been praying for and exhorting Delegate
Kinsey to respect the wishes of his cOnstit-
uency, and represent it as desired, left for
home this morning They are very much
dissatisfied with that gentleman's course,
and insist that their views reflect nineteen
twentieths of the Democracy OF Marion.
In conversation with one of the depart
ing Democrats who had listened to Dele
gate Lucas speech he made this criticism:
The Jefferson county statesman, in his
elaborate defense of the position taken by
himself and his anti-caucuS colleagues,
stated particularly that he was acting in
obedience to the wishes of his constituents;
that he had been chosen to represent the
will of the people of Jefferson county, and
that his oath to do this would not permit
him to consent that Democratic caucus
might bind him to its arbitrary decision.
But where does this put some of the
ten gentlemen who are standing
with him? Mr.. Kinsey, Of Marion,
for instance, cannot pretend
that he Is representing his Democratic con-
for they stand almost to man
in support OF the caucus nominee, and
perfect flood of petitions has upon repre-
sentatives urging him to stand by the
party organization. The sentiment is un-
auimOus among them and yet it is obSti-
nately disregarded by Mr.. kinsey without
reason or explanation. There was nothing
hut condemnation in his course in Mr..
Lucas defense OF himself"
Another Morgan county visitor said al
though he was very sorry to say 1t, but he
believed that Judge Okey Johnson was
playing fast and loose in this Senatorial
fight and that he had induced Mr.. kinsey
not only to keep out of caucus hut to re-
frain casting his vote for MI. Camden. 1t
is reported that the Judge has the Sena-
torial lightning rod protruding several
yards above his caput.
THE PROHIBITION AMENDMENT
was again before the Senate to-day, but
owing to the arrival of the hour for the two
houses TO meet in joint session, it was
again postponed and goes over until to-
morrow morning The amendment TO fix
the time when il shall take efiectit adopted
by the people january, lS9O), was voted
ON, the vote resulting twelve to eleven.
The friends of the measure, however, sue
eeeded in having the announcement
of the vote postponed until tO-mOr-
row, with the view of giving
Senators Brown and Morrison, who were
absent to-day on account Of sickness and
sweeney who was also absent an
opportunity Of recording their votes.
These three votes will probably be cast
ar,,ipst amending the resolution. The
friends of the resolution are determined
that the resolution shall not be in any way
amended and want to pGSs it as it came
from the House My opinion of yesterday
that on the first vote the requisite two
thirds vote could not be secured Is
strengthened to- day by information re-
ceiyed from very reliable sources. The
discussion of this resolution attracts very
large crowds daily.
INSANE HOSPITAL INVESTIGATION.
The Joint resolution for the appointment
of Joint committee TO investigate the
Hospital for the Insane was before the
Senate this afternoon and OccasiOned con-
siderable lively discussion. The resolution
was finally referred to the Committee on
Public Buildings and Humane Institutions.
The Republicans attempted to have the
resolution passed without reference,
while the Democratic members insisted
that it should be referred. The Committee
this evening considered the matter and
it will be reported back in the
morning without recommendation. The
same committee met the Committee of the
House tonight and listened to the argu-
ments OF several gentlemen in reference to
the building a second building for the III
sane, but as yet have taken no action on
the matter.
The bill changing the charter of Henry
q. Davis West Virginia Central railroad
and permitting the building OF the road
along the Elk and Kanawha rivers and to
this place is on third reading in the SEN
ate and will probably be passed tomorrow
or Monday.
WON'T CHANGE.
The public meeting called last night 10
change the name of Charleston decided
to make no change by vote of 800 to 2.
The meeting was quite funny, Judge
Kemple taking hand. Major Brown
and A. NJ. Scott were the only persons
who advocated q change. 4 wag moved
to change Major Browns name to A. NJ.
Scott and Seott's to Brown, but he couldn't
get q second.
Much qualification is expressed by the
Democrats here who claim to know some
thing about municipal politics in Wheel
ing, 1T the election of Seabright and Smith.
The Civil Service Commission will be
here February l to conduct Department
examination.
Among the arrivals tonight are Will
FRis, Of the IateligeRcer, and DIR. Logan,
Of Wheeling, and b. Ward, Of the New
York Void.
The joint resolution providing for q
